Diary of Burt Post Sept. 15th, 1946

Just saw an advertisement for a new movie coming out before Christmas called "It's a Great Life or Wonderful Life", directed by Frank Capra. I sure liked his movies about the war effort. Those "Why We Fight" movies sure got me stirred up.

Usually I don't like this
kind of thing but it could be good. Stars Jimmy Stewart. I guess he made it
before he went back in to the Army Air Force. It has angels and a redemption theme.
His love interest is a new girl named Donna Reed. She is cute. A guy at the
barber shop showed me a nude picture of her. I guess those starlets have to get
on screen somehow. The casting couch must not be a myth. I sure wish I was a Hollywood
Director. On second thought I wouldn't give up my family for a chance at
bedding the most beautiful girls in the world...

The economy is really slowing
down again for civilian products. The military stuff is taking over again. I
guess Truman and his brain trust are starting to get their head out of their
ass. I heard it was the big wig corporate types that didn't want to go into
debt further. Hell we just fought a war to save those poor folks over there and
they are worried about business when another tin pot dictator comes along. If
you ask me if you put business before your country you are a traitor and should
be treated as one. Imagine trying to fight a war without asking the average man
to sacrifice anything while your fighting men are dying and getting maimed and
you sitting at home worried about the next good movie.

I do what I can. I tried to
join but they keep saying my job is critical to the war effort. Who would have
thought that paper and paper products were a critical part of the war effort.

Bill Swain is still not able
to come back to work. According to Mary he has horrible nightmares about his
time in Guadal Canal. He wakes up screaming and is pouring in sweat. I guess he
even attacked Mary before he came out of it. Combat must be terrible. I wonder
if there is any help for these guys? I guess they call it battle fatigue or
something. Old Blood and Guts Patton almost lost his job because he didn't
believe in it and slapped that soldier. After being with Bill I believe it. Something's
just aren't meant for the average man to endure. I wonder how many hand to hand
combat situations Patton got himself in to? Maybe he's just one of those rare
individuals that can live with killing a man up close. No one knows how they
would react until it happen to them.
